Tim Tomasik Explains Property Damage Claims in Aviation Cases
Web Release, 04/22/2011Timothy Tomasik, partner at Clifford Law Offices, is one of the liaison counsel working on the multi-billion-dollar property damage claims that resulted from the destruction of the World Trade Center towers in the 9/11 tragedy.
In an article published by the Mass Torts Section of the American Bar Association, Tomasik writes of how the court determines the proper measure of damages for property owners which can include business interruption claims, diminution in market value and other very difficult issues.
He explains how last year 18 of the 21 property damage claimants entered into a $1.2 billion settlement with the aviation defendants who were responsible for screening passengers at security checkpoints and how difficult such litigation can be in sorting through all of the issues and the parties' concerns.
